Banyan Treatment Centers is seeking a Clinical Program Improvement Specialist to support the National Clinical Director of Virtual Care in building, refining, and scaling the infrastructure behind Banyan's Virtual IOP. This role blends clinical program development, training design, compliance support, outcomes measurement, and patient-facing programming.
The specialist brings a clinical background and direct patient care experience to this work, applying a clinical eye to program design, curriculum development, and patient care initiatives across the virtual care continuum. This perspective allows the specialist to translate day-to-day clinical realities — what staff encounter in session, what patients need between touchpoints, where documentation and workflow create friction — into stronger training, sharper outcomes tracking, and more responsive programming. The role is intentionally cross-functional, sitting at the intersection of clinical operations, quality, and program development.
